Poem
An Empire of Dirt The whispers of fate On life’s boulevard Of yesterdays dreams Once broken and barred Talk of the journey So painfully hard That everyone on it Was emotionally scarred The tale of a man Who had not a care But screamed up to the heavens That life just isn’t fair He wished to be happy But did not prepare For first sight of a woman With the sun in her hair As he looked for a moment At her smile and her eyes While the light from the heavens Shone down from the skies Something about her Seemed to hypnotize As she looked back upon him Right through his disguise She knew he was different But to her surprise He kneeled down before her And closed both his eyes Something about him His ludicrous charm Screamed heartache and danger Which raised an alarm But some how she knew He meant her no harm So she slowly leaned over And helped him up by the arm He followed her over And that’s where he met A girl as precious As princess’s get And over came running A boy so handsome Who could talk him a dollar Out of near anyone When he saw them all smile It made him believe That there wasn’t anything He couldn’t achieve Then he felt his lip curl And point to the sky What ever just happened He could not deny That what he was feeling Was his reason why Heaven had spared him So many times And gave him the visions And the power of rhymes So he could perfect What he wanted to say Cause the toes on his tongue Always got in his way It all seemed so easy Back at the start But now they have towers Surrounding their hearts And none of them knows How grand it can be Cause tomorrow is blackened By uncertainty And they all feel trapped By tides of eternity The ripples of fate Echoing through endlessly Repaying the debts Of his insanity But they all stand behind him Drowning in hurt As he seeks out redemption In his empire of dirt By: Jeremy Siedlecki
